Holy Cactus! Or is it Cacti?

Or maybe cactuses? A plant this huge must have drawn quite a few visitors over the years.

A service member admires a gigantic plant

Can you help us identify the location in this photo based on the cactus or surrounding plants? We hope that someone will be able to narrow down the date from the automobiles in the lot, or even uncover the identity of the man posing here.

Please leave a comment if you can tell us any information about this picture.

I would guess in the 40’s and the location would have to be way south, like New Mexico or South Texas. Just guessing, obviously, but you never know what might help. Hope it is determed when, where and who the soldier is!!!

By the looks of his hat, and the rumppled uniform I would guess he is a foreignor. I estimate the year to be around 1942 to 1944, by the shape of the vehicles. The truck or buss looks like a 1935 Chevy, and the two autos in the background look foreing to me, probably in the earlier 1940’s. Site may be an ally of ours,
